Our colleague Dan Levitt, BC's Senior's Advocate, was recently interviewed by Carole Taylor for her show, Journal. He touches on systemic ageism, the urgent need that older adults face, and the opportunities to do better now and into the future.🎙

"The fact that, to many – especially older men raised on traditional beliefs around masculinity – loneliness is still often viewed as a weakness.
To many, he said, “loneliness is seen as a personal failure.”"

🗻🚀VANCOUVER WHITECAPS SLAY THE DRAGON!
Somehow, someway, the Vancouver Whitecaps see out the final minutes of extra time and 9 v 11 and beat LAFC in the penalty shootout.
There's no CBs for the Conference Final, but absolute bedlam at BC Place.
What a match.

BAM!!! Love to see it!
The dirtbag from Rochester is a beauty!

George's full AB with in stadium audio only.
That’s a brow wipe! Especially with Judge on deck.
A lo profundooooo! #bluejays
Trey Yesavage has struck out 10 batters through four innings.
It’s already a #BlueJays postseason record.
Spectacular stuff from Guerrero Jr to start the playoffs! Silver Slugger and Gold Glover on display #BlueJays and now Kirk!!
Blue Jays start playoff games tomorrow, so it’s a great time to talk about high blood pressure! Kidding aside, if someone you care about is self-monitoring BP – know that devices are NOT created equal! For list of recommended devices, visit @hypertensioncanada.bsky.social hypertension.ca
On #NationalSeniorsDay, let's celebrate the wisdom, humour, and countless contributions that older adults bring to our families and community. At Seniors Outreach, they don’t just take part in programs – they lead them, they volunteer their time, assist with activities, and care for others. 💙
BAM! Alejandro! #bluejays
Watch out, if the Blue Jays pitchers can find a way to stop giving up so many home runs. Another strong pitching outing blighted by the long ball. I am liking the Jays options to roll with 3 good starters in playoffs. Last 20 games will be interesting!
Excellent interview for people wanting to bridge the gap between research and practice in their health promotion activities and social services. Helpful comments in last half of interview for adapting community & workplace wellness programs for the diversity of our participants.
4.5% vacancy rate is a healthy rental market! Good results from City's planning team & housing providers. Still a vital need for below-market rental housing in #Kelowna, especially along transit corridors. Capstone is noteworthy with 70+ Rent-Geared-Income units www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna...
Sound On!
Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are the dream team we did not expect but we deserve. They have brought so much joy to this tournament. #USOpen 🎾

We need to build 16,858 long-term care beds over the next decade to care for B.C.'s aging population.
When asked indirectly why the gov should make this investment, Seniors Advocate Dan Levitt said: because seniors deserve to receive care in LTC beds, not hospital hallways.

You might notice BC data is missing
That's because the health ministry didn't respond to an FOI for 7 months and missed the Globe's deadline for publication
